A-Class central locking problem

[ash-uk]

Hi (not sure if this is the best place to post this)

I've had a W-168 A160 on a 51 plate since the summer.

The central locking was working fine, but has started to play up a bit a couple of months ago and not lifting the buttons on the rear doors on a single press.

You can get them all to lift if you press the button a few times but it is fairly frustrating as the rear offside door button is the last to rise (as well as the boot catch)

I've had a look at the CL pump in the boot and nothing seems adrift, and can lift all the buttons by blowing into the tube without what appears any leaks.

Any ideas ?

Thanks Ash

Hi, thanks for coming back.

All the locks do work on the button and still will pop up eventually, but it is almost like there is an air leak and the pressure needs to be built sufficiently.
